Blood spot test for type 1 diabetes and celiac disease
This study tests a new way to check for type 1 diabetes and celiac disease using a tiny drop of blood from a finger prick, instead of a regular blood draw. The goal is to make diagnosis easier and less scary for children.
Florence, ItalyAges 2–13 - NCT06856967Recruiting
Nirsevimab for RSV in infants under 1 year
This study looks at whether the drug nirsevimab can reduce hospitalizations caused by RSV (a common respiratory virus) in babies under 1 year old. If your baby has a lung infection like bronchiolitis or pneumonia, this trial may help understand how well the medicine works.

Study of rivaroxaban in Chinese children with large heart artery bulges
This trial is testing the drug rivaroxaban in children aged 2 to 17 who have large bulges (aneurysms) in their heart arteries after Kawasaki disease. It aims to see how the drug works in the body to prevent blood clots.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 2–18 - NCT06360718Recruiting
Leukemia storybook for parents' stress
